Which outcome occurs when reverse bias voltage increases on a tunnel diode beyond peak point?

💡 Explanation

When the reverse bias voltage increases on a tunnel diode, the energy bands misalign further, reducing the number of available states for tunneling, causing the tunneling current to decrease exponentially. Therefore, tunneling current decreases rather than ohmic increase, constant capacitance, or avalanche breakdown which depend on different mechanisms.
